UTEE Focal Beads

I just started experimenting with UTEE (Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel) and thought I would share one of of my first creations! These spooky spider focal beads were created by first rolling a paper barrel bead from some discarded paper. Next, I applied images of spiders to the outer part of the beads and then gave the beads some great colors by adding brown, black and some green pigments. Then I applied two coats of Mod Podge. After the Mod Podge had plenty of drying time I then dipped the beads in the UTEE twice. The end result was really shiny beads with lots of great texture and shape!
